Several times a week, usually in the early evening, my nose will stuff up. Like wads of cotton got stuffed up there. Not being able to breath thru my nose drives me crazy!
I've tried everything, saline spray, Flonase, Vicks, antihistamine pills (Zyrtec), decongestant pills (Sudafed) - the only thing that works to open up my nasal passages is decongestant spray - Afrin - the stuff you're not suppose to use for more then 3 days in a row.
I've been lucky so far that this doesn't happen every night. I don't use a bi pap, cough assist, can eat anything but I do use Thick It to swallow pills. My speech is poor. Still understandable - barely.
So my question is - is this MND/ALS or do I need to see an ENT?
Thanks,
Deb
